California Baptist University and Jilin Jianzhou University Sign Mutual Agreement

RIVERSIDE (May 29, 2013)— Dai Xin, president of Jilin Jianzhou University, and Dr. Ronald L. Ellis, president
of California Baptist University, signed a memorandum of mutual understanding (MOU)
May 24 that will allow students from the Chinese university to take coursework at
CBU. The agreement provides for students from Jilin Jianzhou to take three years of
coursework in China and then transfer to CBU for an additional two to three years
of study to complete a bachelor's or master's degree in architecture.

Jilin Jianzhou University is a public Chinese university of approximately 16,000 students
located in Changchun, the capital city of Jilin Province located in northeast China.
The agreement is the result of nine months of work and collaboration between the two
schools.

"Architecture is the flagship program for Jilin Jianzhou University so it is significant
that they chose CBU as the first and possibly only foreign school for such an agreement
with their architectural program," said Dr. Larry Linamen, vice president of global
initiatives. "Mark Roberson (dean of CBU's College of Architecture, Visual Arts and
Design) was instrumental in making this program a success, making a trip to Jilin
last fall for an initial visit to the Jilin Jianzhou campus, followed by a fact-finding
visit from Jilin Jianzhou administrators to CBU early in 2013."

The agreement is the 10th MOU between CBU and international universities to be signed during 2012-2013.
